Quantum Wristwatch
Sorry to bust chops over little details, but it just stands out to me. Parson's watch keeps fading in and out of existence!
First seen in 14:5
Missing in 16:4
Back in 18:10, 19:1, 20:4, and in 22:10.
Gone in 23:6 and 24:6.
I figure it's a trivial artistic detail, but I keep thinking it's going to be important to the plot.

Re: Quantum Wristwatch
The Erfworld's time scale is related to turns rather than time itself. The Watch is having a hard time deciding what it should have on its face.

Re: Quantum Wristwatch
Even Old New York was once New Hampster Dam, why they changed it I can't say. People just liked it better that way!
Back in Jr. High I had a friend who liked taking of his wrist watch and then putting it back on constantly whenever he was bored... Maybe Parson is like him and he takes it off between panels? Anyway, nice catch on that one. I never would've seen that...

Re: Quantum Wristwatch
GAAAAH! Whyever must people notice more things than me!?!!?
I agree, anyway, it probably has something to do with Erfworld's time. Possibly Parson is in a game that's actually being played by his group, too (they got a new DM, or one of the other players took over), so whenever something actually determined by the players happens, his wristwatch goes back to regular time.
Improbable theory, but at least I tried.Ha! Well, I can't say I'm doing badly out of the rush for building materials. But you'd be surprised at how little of the money I get to take home at the end of the day. I can't pay off the loan I took to go to sawmill-operator's school - it's a highly skilled job, and they don't let anyone use machinery without a qualification. It's easy extracting planks from the logs people bring me; lots of material has to be wasted. And I've got to

Re: Quantum Wristwatch
I think it is more that Jamie forgot his watch a couple times and is turning it into a running gag. Since last time this was pointed out, I believe Jamie said something to the effect of "oh snap".

Re: Quantum Wristwatch
Agreed. I think that this is an error that in hindsight will be turned into a "this will be so cool!" plot point.
I do like the idea of quantum wristwatches though... (The Arkenclock?)
HmmThanks to Urodivoi for my Avatars!

Re: Quantum Wristwatch
If I remember my history correctly, Constantinople kept that name through Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman times right up until the 20th century, when it was renamed Istanbul in a fit of Turkish nationalism.
And again, IIRC, the Turks had to fight to keep the city, on account of the Greeks wanted it back.
